I want to play the demo so badly just so I can see how the game is. I am a bit butthurt that IGN gave it a 6.

I'm pretty sure IGN and other companies that rate games give like every video game that comes out these days less than a 7.5 unless it's MW2. They like to rate games low.

This is a great game but I don't have Wii Points And at our school we have a bank. Well I started a bank account, but the bank is closed until December 8th due to exams, and then Thanksgiving week, and training new employees.

Personally, I thought about getting the game when it was announced during the HG/SS outbreak. When the demo ame out here, I was somewhat disappointed at the simplicity of the game. I was just basically button mashing.

But then, I got the actuall game, and I say, it was a lot harder than the demo (huh-durr). It's really fun, especially if you do co-op play.

The only thing I don't like is the whole random move generator. All it does is it eats your money until you find a move you like.

It's a pain, but if all you needed was money to arm every one of your Pokémon with the strongest/most effective attacks, there'd be no real challenge to the game; you could just cut swaths of destruction through every level.

Say that to the guy who got Swagger 5 times in a row... Me.
But, yeah, the RMG allows some room for difficulty.

DEATH FROM ABOVE, is a bit shorter. And I'm siggin' that, if you don't mind.

I contend that a strong Pokémon with Solarbeam is essential to success in this game because it's the top (or one of the top) combinations of power, range and coverage. It's either a 4-star or 5-star Grass attack, it allows you to back away and hammer a target or area with Solarbeams from what passes for a safe distance and it covers a fairly large radius as Rumble attacks go. That's the sort of combination that can be the difference between a win and a loss in a Battle Royale or a boss fight, where you're down to a last few HP on your last key and you can stay alive long enough to win by keeping the level boss or remaining Royale boss at arms length while repeatedly hammering them with an attack that does tremendous damage with a type advantage and still does passable damage per hit even without it.

Solarbeam is awesome. I'm partial to "RUN! RUN! OR YOU'LL BE WELL DONE!" myself. (It's 4 star, by the way).
The bouncing projectiles like Flash Cannon, Shadow Ball and Energy Ball are good as well. Dragon Claw's a great, fast melee attack for something like a Garchomp.

Looking for a Magmar, Electabuzz or Jynx now to try and get one of the legendary Birds.

I got the game yesterday and I'm really enjoying it so far
Its a short game but really fun
It's annoying how your pokemon don't level up so could get a really good pokemon like dragonite at lvl 624 and its only useful for a while
It would be nice if there was a sequel with extended game time, more stages and more pokemon

The only real ccriticism I can think of for the game is that the constantly interchanging area and battle themes get on my nerves, but at least not as much as Sonic Unleashed did with the same problem.

Game is win. I quite like the fact that you have to use new pokemon constantly as your old ones become outdated. I can never replace members of my party in the turn based games becuase of the training I'd have to do.

And lastly, when are they gonna release little wind up Pokemon toys that run around and smash into each other.

That would be fun, they could sell little battle arena things where they could do battle and stuff

Anyone know why certain pokemon level up with wonder keys and others don't? Like my charizard and cheerim stayed their original level, but the other passwords leveled up with the wonder key, I can't seem to find any reason at all on the internets.

I believe it's because the password Pokemon have the highest levels in-game, but they put a cap on the power levels in every rank area, which when you complete a rank area and go to a higher rank, your password Pokemon go up too.

Oh yeah I found out why, pokemon from afar (Passwords or wiimote stored) level up with the keys, but not all have high levels, so some will cap out at level A normal whereas others will cap out at level EX.

Another thing, anyone know if the odds for shiny pokemon are the same as regular games or if it's easier to find?

My brother just got a shiny. I'd be jealous if it looked remotely different.

On the subject of useful moves, I find multi-hit movement moves like Megahorn and quick attack invaluable against hordes of weak enemies and bosses too. Roost and Recover are excellant as the gradual healing won't wear off until it heals the set amount, so you can use it at full health and heal off damage when you take it. Lastly, easily spamable power up attacks like metal claw and ancient power are brilliant for powering up before battle.

BTW, what is the groundshake spin and the invincibility smoke move all bosses have?
